Snow is slated to start coming down around 2 a.m. with heavy snow falling about one to two inches per hour between 4 and 10 a.m.
By mid-morning, the snow is projected to mix with or change to sleet for towns and cities near and south of the Mass. Turnpike. This will then change back to snow in the mid-afternoon before tapering off in the early evening.
Snow totals are expected to be near a foot across Northern Mass. and Southern New Hampshire.
The majority of Mass. could get six to nine inches, while parts of Bristol and Plymouth counties could see three to six inches.
Cape Cod, the Islands, and the south coast are slated to get one to three inches of snow.
The biggest concern during the winter storm will be slick travel conditions, especially during the morning commute.
This snow will be sticking around for the weekend as high temperatures remain in the 30s.
